Depending on your age and if you're a Nirvana fan, it's kinda hard to explain. Do I love the performance? Yes. Do I think it's a good one? Not really. Kurt Cobain's voice is terrible, but at least the instruments sounded good. At the time, Unplugged was a really cool show and to have grunge band play some of their grunge music in such a subdued way made the songs almost more intense. "Come as you are" performed on the show is almost haunting.

There's a lot of back story involved too. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Kurt Cobain didn't want to do the performance, but was pressured to by the record company. He didn't like the fame that went along with being a rock star and this type of show was what the stars were doing. This was also about a year before he shot himself. They were a very popular band at the time and this was probably one of the last recorded performances. I think if he hadn't shot himself so soon after it the performance wouldn't be AS revered.

To dovetail on the previous response, Kurt was the reluctant poster child for Gen X, Grunge, the Seattle music scene, and the emerging face of "Alternative Rock." Many had come before Nirvana and paved the way, it was just that Nirvana was so heavily embraced by pop culture and by promotions/marketing that they ended up as one of the more prominent bands along with Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, and a few others.

Some of Nirvana's best recordings are part of this Unplugged session. In addition, what makes Nirvana what they are/were was the entirety of their catalog, not "Smells Like..." (a song that Cobain heavily disliked being their 'known for' song) or "Come As You Are."

I was in high school at this time. Nirvana embodied our youth culture. White middle class youth loved the rebellious feel to the music and sub-culture of grunge. Music was different then. It was still all about albums (cd's) and live concerts. Musicians--especially rock stars--were heroes and seeing this style of performance--and then Kurt committing suicide months afterwards--was very emotional to easily affected youth.
